Quick Q About Rooted Nookcolor!

[WeakChopper]

Ok. Firstly thanks in advance. And secondly, I did a cursory search and didn't see a thread about my particular question, so if there is one, I'm sorry.

I spent a couple hours on here yesterday, reading guides and how-tos and finally decided to root my Nookcolor, which had the 1.3 update when I started. I followed the guide on XDA I believe the forum is called, which involved doing a complete wipe of the device (interrupting boot 8 times and then going into settings and erasing/deregistering it again) and then booting two different zipped files from the SD card that had some other file downloaded onto it. I'm sorry I can't remember the names of any of these programs right now, but I'm sure you all know what I'm describing.

The Nook seems to be working perfectly! I've been using it since last night and no issue, so here is my question. I started out with the 1.3 update, but I went into my device info this morning and noticed that it now says it is version 1.2.
Is this normal? Did I mess up somewhere? I followed the directions for people who are running version 1.3 and now I'm wondering if I somehow missed an important step and if it might cause me issues later on or something.

I am thinking maybe after I did the complete wipe it reset itself back to 1.2 and I was supposed to update it to 1.3 again and then root it? I'm not sure.
Does it even matter?

Thanks guys.

Yes you probably reset it when you did the 8+1 wipe. No you don't have to "upgrade" to 1.3, in fact that would probably make bad things happen. I assume you've loaded to the eMMC, (the memory built into the NC rather that a uSD card). That's how I run mine and am very happy. BTW: you won't have to worry about the 1.4 update coming around because CM7(.1) won't see it.

Frankly, I don't know what he did. Rooted stock, CM7 install? I can't quite figure that out and I don't know of a single root that starts with the 8 failed boot and de-registering steps. So I am only going to offer one piece of advice. If it works the way you want it to now, leave it alone!

8+1 allows you to start with what is burned on the EPROM, no other update to have to account for later. I don't want to have to jump through hoops to make something work because it got the 1.3 update the last time I walked past a Barnes and Nobles.

I know what the 8+1 does. I just have never seen it as an actual procedure to follow during a root as the poster infers. A fix for a bad root, yes.... but not as part of the root process
